"Don't scold, don't scold! And then what? ”

Dai Xiaoshan glanced at Xiao Ai, turned his head and asked.

“...... Well, and then, the Macao authorities took into account that the Qing Dynasty gave us such preferential treatment, and actually obtained the maritime trade monopoly in the south of the Qing Dynasty, although it was very unexpected, but the Macao authorities are also very grateful to the Qing Dynasty for their decision, and they have to repay the favor anyway, so since the Qing Dynasty said that those who do not move inward are the rebellious people and the party that are unwilling to submit, they should be punished!

Therefore, Macao will definitely not be able to accommodate mainland refugees, after all, in the eyes of the imperial court, it is to take in the rebellious party! Therefore, the Macao authorities did not block the imperial court, so they decisively and consciously closed the passage for refugees to enter, and since then, there has been no influx of refugees in Macao......"

"the whole family of Nima! What a dog is better than ......"

"Okay, okay, stop scolding, is it useful for you to scold here? The key is to take action! Do you want to take action?! ”

Dai Xiaoshan raised his hand and patted Irush on the shoulder.

"Okay, stop scolding...... I feel a little powerless, it seems that the port of Macao can't count on anything, alas, the head is ......"

In fact, Xiao Ai thinks that since Macao will almost inevitably be bought by the Qing court in order to monopolize the trade with the hinterland, will that weaken our influence in Macao? Maybe it won't affect business, right? But the immigration work that we have here is certainly much more difficult, and that's where he is concerned.

Obviously, Dai Xiaoshan and Ren Ke also thought of this, so Dai Xiaoshan said to the two brothers after a moment of silence:

"It seems that your suggestion of building a resettlement base in the outer islands is very important, and I feel that this is the way to deal with it......"

Ren Ke left in response:

"As I said earlier, in order to obtain population, the key factor is to have multiple places to collect displaced people......

Ren Ke said and took out a thick booklet from his coat pocket, and the brothers next to him saw that it was actually a travel brochure from the old world, with a detailed paginated map in it.

"Hey! Ren Ke, the last plenary meeting decided that this kind of map should not be taken out of the Red Mansion, unless it is a blank map that is copied and copied again, how did you bring this to Macao? ”

Dai Xiaoshan glanced at Ren Ke with some surprise, and the latter said indifferently, The big map is troublesome, and this is my personal property, I bought it before crossing to Anna, and I have been busy at home recently, and I don't have time to copy and transcribe the blank, not to mention that Sister Xia and they are also busy, so they are in a hurry......

Dai Xiaoshan responded with a serious face when he heard this, don't be so careless, once this kind of atlas is seen by outsiders, you should know what the consequences will be, the loss of information is a trivial matter, and the resolution of the plenary meeting at that time also includes personal belongings!

"Don't worry, I'll never take this room out, right?"

Ren Ke hurriedly reassured.

"Okay...... You have to be careful anyway! Don't let anyone else see it, including your wife! ”

Dai Xiaoshan still warned sharply.

"Yes, yes, let's get down to business, Brother Ren Ke brought it all, let's use it, it's a big deal to let the Pride bring it back next time......"

"Alas......"

Dai Xiaoshan sighed slightly and didn't say anything.

At this time, Xiao Ai immediately took the atlas from Ren Ke's hand next to him, turned one of the pages, and said to the other two people:

"Two old brothers, you see, there are hundreds of large and small islands off the coast of the Pearl River Estuary, if we control a few of the main islands and build properties on the islands, there will naturally be refugees coming to ...... at that time."

"Wait, this method sounds good, but I don't understand, what if this Tartar sailor comes over to clean up the chaotic party? War with the Manchus? ”

Dai Xiaoshan asked with some concern.

"Brother Dai! What about going to war! Our ships are strong and sharp, and we are afraid that these Tartars will not succeed!? ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Ai's voice rose three times, but Ren Ke shook his hand and said to Dai Xiaoshan:

"Well, if you follow the historical facts of the old world, I'm afraid you won't be able to fight......"

"Why?"

This time, Dai Xiaoshan had a question mark on his face.

According to the historical data of the old world, from Fujian to Guangdong, the sailors in various places have been weakened very much, and decent large and medium-sized ships do not go to sea at all, and the Qing court is afraid that these large ships will fall into the hands of the Zheng family, so they will simply burn them down, especially in the coastal areas of Guangxi and Fujian, only small boats occasionally patrol the coast, the purpose is to see if there are any people who have escaped the net on the coast and are still begging for a living on the seaside, so in the more than 20 years of the ban on the sea and the relocation, The southeast sea of this continent became the world of Europeans, Zheng family and pirates, and at that time, the Qing army's strength did not even go out of fifty miles from the coast, how could they come to the open sea islands to clear out the rebels? ”

"In this way, it seems that this Qing Dynasty has really turned itself into a landlocked country, and sometimes I really admire these Tartars...... However, this is a historical record of the old world, and the question is whether we will change history if we come and flapp the wings of a butterfly......"

Dai Xiaoshan began to groan again, so Ren Ke responded:

"I'm not too worried about this, the inertia of history is very strong, butterfly wings or something, I don't know if it's the Year of the Monkey and the month of the monkey if I want to play a role, but in fact, I also have something to worry about, that is, in the past few years before the promulgation of the sea relocation order, I heard that Shang Kexi has recently engaged in private trade, and the Qing court actually turned a blind eye to this kind of blatant violation of the sea ban, so once we develop the nearby desert island, we may encounter Shang Kexi's sailors, After all, people will patrol the waters of the Pearl River Estuary every day to collect taxes everywhere. ”

"According to you, our armed forces should also be built at the same time?"

Xiao Ai immediately came to his senses when he heard this, and his eyes were shining.

"Maybe, the problem is to apply for a budget, and someone has to ...... Hey, at the end of the day, it's going to be someone......"

Dai Xiaoshan sighed, Xiao Ai was very excited at this time, and said loudly:

"This tartar is really cruel, but it is extremely ignorant, and he has done it! Let's do what we just said! Recruiting displaced people to develop desert islands, it's a big deal that we will go to a farther place in the early days, by the way, there will be livelihood projects on the island, I suddenly thought of one, how about we organize displaced people to go to the island to cultivate sugarcane? I also learn from Brother Hou what they did in Xin'an City, planting sugarcane on these islands, and then producing sugar, well, you can also cooperate with four Chinese businessmen, this sugar is very profitable, it is planted and produced locally, and it saves freight! ”

Seeing Xiao Ai more and more excited, Ren Ke said with a smile:

"I feel that you can, you tell your father-in-law about this plan, you should be able to get the strong support of the Qiao family, I think that the Qiao family and the other three are now in contact with one, and cooperate with Australia to recruit immigrants to reclaim the outer islands, this is a big matter, and it can't be completely counted as the Qiao family's business, it is more or less related to the other three, and there are also interests involved, so our reclamation plan should be helped by the four Chinese businessmen......"

"Makes sense......"

"It should be this ......"

"Well, let me tell you, when it comes to this reclamation project, I actually talked to Brother Zhu, Ba Lao and Master Wang before coming to Macau, and Wang Lao also suggested that spices be grown on these islands, and that this is an important part of the five-spice powder business.

Of course, the cultivation of sugarcane you mentioned is also a plan, but sugarcane cultivation requires a lot of fresh water, so some islands may not be suitable, but the cultivation of many spices is not so harsh on water and soil conditions. ”

Ren Ke said this, pointing to several small islands on the map and saying:

"Actually, if you want me to say that if the conditions permit, it is not impossible to move the glass factory to these islands, I don't know if you have noticed, this old world tourist brochure says that many islands have beach tourism development projects, or white sand beaches, like the beaches in the area of our Xiliu River estuary? So even the raw materials for the glass industry have ......"

Before Ren Ke finished speaking, Dai Xiaoshan shook his head and said, in this case, the stall will be too big, although there may be raw materials for the glass industry on these islands, how to solve the power problem? Unless we have the ability to generate electricity independently......"
